within existing service areas, and there is no reasonable possibility that the modification of the
Sewer System Service Connection Fee and Charges authorized by Huntington Beach Municipal
Code Chapter 14.36 could negatively affect the physical environment. Any environmental impacts
associated with specific projects that may be undertaken with the monies collected pursuant to this
resolution and Huntington Beach Municipal Code Chapter 14.36 will be assessed as each project is
formulated. The City Council also hereby finds that the adoption of this Resolution is exempt from
